The Cornell Plant Pathology Herbarium (CUP) is home to several major photograph collections, together amounting to over 60,000 prints and negatives. A small fraction of our photos have been digitized and can be viewed through this site. Our collections document the last 120 years of plant pathology, mycology, and agricultural practice. Many photographs are tied to specimens in our specimen collection, making them uniquely useful for biological research. ... [Information of the supplier]
Here you will find information on members of the orders Chytridiales (sensu Barr) and Spizellomycetales in the class Chytridiomycetes (Kingdom Fungi), including a description of genera, tips and techniques on how to isolate chytrids, current hypotheses of chytrid systematics (includes both taxonomy and phylogeny), links to other relevant websites, and a searchable reference database. The goal of this site is to provide an online resource for students, teachers, and researchers wanting to learn more about chytrids as well as an easily accessed interface for taxonomic information. Since the work on chytrid taxonomy and phylogeny is an on-going process, this site will be continually updated to reflect the changes brought about by new research. ... [Information of the supplier]
Aspergillus flavus is a plant, animal, and human pathogen that produces the carcinogen, aflatoxin. An organized multidisciplinary team is coordinating research efforts to control this fungus and to prevent the formation of its toxin in food and feeds. [Information of the supplier]
Nomenclature of Eumycetozoa is an on-line nomenclatural information system of the Eumycetozoans (Myxomycetes, Dictyostelids and Protostelids) of the world, providing information on more than 4,000 names employed in this group. It is based on an extensible information system prototype in development by Juan Carlos Hernández-Crespo. The data are from an extended updated Nomenmyx, a nomenclatural taxa base of Myxomycetes, compiled by Carlos Lado. The application can search by different ranks, can show the history of a name, all the synonyms of one species, all the taxa described or combined by an author, or all the taxonomic proposals in a specific publication. ...

Work is underway to catalog the type specimens of fungi at the New York Botanical Garden Herbarium, as a continuation of the Type Specimen Catalog Project. The Cataloging of Vascular Plant Type Specimens was completed in 2002. The type specimens of rust fungi (Pucciniaceae) were completed several years ago, and types from recently incorporated herbaria (e.g., Tulane University, Kansas State University) have also been cataloged. The current focus of the Type Specimen Catalog for Fungi is the mushrooms and related groups of fungi (i.e., Macrofungi). A complete type catalog record for Macrofungi includes a wider variety of elements than plant specimens, to permit a complete evaluation of key taxonomic features. These fungi are characterized by an ephemeral spore-bearing structure that changes drastically upon drying. Therefore, in addition to a transcription of the specimen label and an image of the specimen, type catalog records for fungi include text, images of associated unpublished notes and drawings, published descriptions and images of spore print, living organism, or microscopic features. These supplemental items, which are not all maintained physically with the related specimen, can now be associated with it virtually. Some of the items in the Macrofungi type specimen catalog are illustrated below ... [Information of the supplier]
The Society for Mycotoxin Research (Gesellschaft für Mykotoxinforschung e.V.) was founded in Munich in 1997. The aim of this registered, non-profit association is to promote research on all scientific fields of mycotoxinology including: mycotoxins and human health, animal health, food and feed safety; toxigenic fungi and production of mycotoxins; toxicology of mycotoxins and occurrence and analyses of mycotoxins. One of our core ideas was to create bridges between the different scientific disciplines working on the field of toxigenic fungi and mycotoxins. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
Mycological literature is extensive, diverse and often dispersed. The objective of this website is to facilitate access to that literature by providing bibliographic lists of references. The present version of the site provides extensive bibliographic information for mycological publications, most dating from the early 1800s to the 1980s, and covering many works in Russian and Ukrainian. As such, it complements other mycological bibliographic sources on the internet, which concentrate on recent literature and do not attempt to present Cyrillic information in its original form (for example Bibliography of Systematic Mycology and the literature database available on line from the USDA Systematic Botany & Mycology Laboratory). Like the two other mycological bibliographic sources mentioned, this library provides search facilities, so that all available references to work by a specified author can be requested. Unlike those other sources, however, the present site also permits browsing. In addition, the present site provides hyperlinks through those bibliographic records to scanned images of the works to which they refer. The task of scanning existing mycological literature is enormous and is unlikely to be achieved through any single initiative. The present site is therefore offered in a spirit of co-operation with Libri Fungorum and other sites which may be planned or in preparation, and every effort will be made to collaborate with such sites to avoid duplication of effort. As those sites come on-line, they will be advertized here. Future versions of the present site will improve the still incomplete coverage of 19th and 20th century literature, and add information about older and more recent works, with a particular emphasis on earlier publications and non-Latin alphabet publications. Some efforts will also be made to provide indexes allowing access to works dealing with particular fungal groups, associated organism groups, countries and other topics. Access to scanned images will also be increased. Availability of those images will always be limited by copyright. As a result, the scanning programme will prioritize two areas: the first, key early mycological works, which are scientifically important, often hard to access and beyond the restrictions of copyright, and the second, more recent mycological works where the copyright owner consents to their reproduction. ...

The Fungi of California is an expanded version of the former "Fungi of the San Francisco Bay Area". The Fungi of California contains photographs over 560 species of fungi found in California, with over 450 of the species with descriptions. There are currently over 3700 total photographs of the mushrooms. Included are links to other online descriptions and photos of the species treated plus references to common field guides. Also included is a Glossary of mycological terms and a Bibliography of useful mycological references. ... [Information of the supplier]
CGD is an organized collection of genetic and molecular biological information about Candida albicans, a yeast that is an opportunistic pathogen of humans. It contains information about Candida albicans genes and proteins; descriptions and classifications of their biological roles, molecular functions, and subcellular localizations; gene, protein, and chromosome sequence information; tools for analysis and comparison of sequences; and links to literature information. The CGD Home page is the main entry point for the database. CGD is aimed at scientists; collected information for the non-scientist about Candida albicans and other yeasts can be found at the Yeast Virtual Library. CGD is based on the Saccharomyces Genome Database and is funded by the National Institute of Dental & Craniofacial Research at the US National Institutes of Health. ... [Information of the supplier]
